Once a high-end brand, crushed by the quartz era, but recently acquired by Breitling and on the verge of resurrection. Beyond collector favourites like Polerouters\/Tri-Compax are myriad time-only pieces to be discovered at amazing value. Like this “batwing” with its horizontally-biased oval case, broad lugs, faceted sides and taupe dial. We love the clever compressed\/elongated printed romans at 12, 3, 6, 9 with similarly shortened\/lengthened applied indices to achieve balance against an audaciously shaped backdrop. So seldom-seen, you’ll be assured of never meeting someone else with the same watch anywhere.
